Congratulations are in order for our friends at the Museum of Illusions!

The worldโ€™s largest privately held chain of museums, has been acquired by an investor group led by Brightwood Capital Advisors to accelerate its global expansion.

Since its founding in 2015, the Museum of Illusions has grown rapidly to nearly 70 locations across 27 countries, offering immersive, educational, and mind-bending experiences that inspire wonder and joy.

Under the new ownership, Brightwood and Constitution Capital Partners become the primary shareholders, with plans to fuel new openings in Sacramento, Miami, San Francisco, London, and Birmingham in 2026.

CEO Kim Schaefer said this next chapter will help bring the Museumโ€™s unique concept โ€œto more guests around the world.โ€

The City Foundry location has been delighting thousands of adults and kids alike since its opening in May 2024

With Brightwoodโ€™s investment and global expertise, the future of illusion has never looked more real.

Alongside the country's most notable institutions, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra is leading a national shift in how orchestras reach new and younger audiences. They are doing it through programming that feels genuinely of this moment, from the Playlist happy hour series to cultural partnerships with creatives and organizations like Mvstercamp, and through a social presence that meets audiences where they are, with sharp, relatable video, behind-the-scenes access, and collaborations with national creators like Tani Lior.

The SLSO made a cameo in Daniel Fosterโ€™s Forbes piece on the LA creative economy:

โ€œThe trend toward youth engagement is emerging nationally. The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra has achieved similar results in attracting youth, given fresh programming led by music director Stรฉphane Denรจve, including a symphony happy hour concert series called Playlist and a strong social media presence.โ€

SLSO, alongside peers like the LA Philharmonic, is redefining what a modern orchestra can be. Their work highlights St. Louis as one of the few cities outside New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago where the future of arts and culture is born.

The Missouri Botanical Garden continues to bring world-class experiences to St. Louis residents and visitors. Their newly announced Spring 2026 exhibit, โ€œPatterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZOโ€ invites guests to explore the connections between art, nature and conservation with an immersive art and light installation.

This is the first time HYBYCOZO (pronounced hib-ee-ko-zo) artwork is displayed in Missouri. Created by artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk, the work began in 2014 and draws inspiration from the inherent beauty found in mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. This version of the traveling exhibit will feature six brand-new, Garden-exclusive sculptures inspired by the living collections and conservation mission of the Garden.

While free to attend during the daytime, light and shadow are critical elements of HYBOCOZO, expanding the artistsโ€™ work beyond the physical medium. Illuminated from within, the patterns transform into portals of color and dimension, casting fields of light that feel immersive and otherworldly. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, guests can witness the effect first-hand during โ€œPatterns in Nature: LightFormโ€, an evening experience with the art of HYBYCOZO. The evening exhibition will be accompanied by live music as visitors enjoy and explore the interactive artwork throughout the Garden

The exhibit opens to the public on April 10 and runs through September 26. Tickets are on sale now.
